Summer Transfer Shit and Everything Else

He has in the past had a tendency to suggest that people who disagree with him about a game haven’t watched the game fully

Nope, I've only done it to you once (which should be more than enough for any grownup)...and IIRC that was after you admitted you did player ratings based solely on highlights....which I still believe is questionable.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assert that if you watch the whole game then you will see more than on the highlights.
And, while we're here, you see different things when you're at the ground which you don't see on TV (and vice versa).

Yes but what it’s not reasonable to do is to suggest that if someone has a different point of view from you on a game that it must be because they only watched the highlights (when in fact in these instances they may well have watched the whole game). Although that’s also kind of academic as in this instance he was suggesting that because he saw more of the games than the rest of us (not sure how he evidences this) he was able to assert something about the team that we might have missed, when in fact I’m pretty sure most of us accept completely that our build up play is too slow at times

Unless I’m up in the stands somewhere in the middle, I’m likely to see different things depending on the half. Fucked if I can see that clearly the other end of the pitch if I’m in the lower stands, then again I remember a game I watched ten years ago where we beat Liverpool 4-1….and I was screaming blue murder that Hector Bellerin had got the ball and that Anthony Taylor was a cheating cunt. Watched the tv highlights? Stonewall pel and clumsy from Bellerin

What instance?? I made it as clear as possible that its something I've noticed overtime and that it repeated itself on Sunday with Trossard there, but I clearly wasn't being specific about much and definitely didn't know you weren't able to watch the game ... but honestly who cares.

Watching the game however you choose to watch it doesn't make anyone a better fan or anyone's argument correct ....if thats what you need to me to say.

No but if I say to you “how did you not see that, you must really try and watch the whole game rather than snippets” it’s an undue assumption. And apart from anything else, in this particular instance you’re only making an observation that people have made many times before anyway.

It feels to me a little presumptuous not to mention passive aggressive is all I’m saying

Its like you are hearing voices or something....please show me exactly where I said that in that tone

As for the match ratings.... I think you guys should only do them when you actually watch the game and not rely on highlights.

This was a response you gave to one of my post match player ratings posts. A clear insinuation that I can’t have watched the game fully (I had).

Buy the #9 from Sporting. Seriously - do that and the league is in the bag.

Yup, Gyokeres fan too. Totally agree with this.

Lol, the same post I referenced earlier which I guessed (correctly) was what you were still hurting from. Also IIRC you stated clearly that you were not watching the game at that time.

Anyway its clear this is not a grownup discussion anymore, so I'll leave you to sulk as much as you want to despite my explanations that everyone gets except you.

I was working that weekend but I had watched the whole game before making the post.

No I just notice patterns with people, I don’t think I made that big a deal of it at the time but the fact that you brought it up again suggested you were making a dig (in the pursuit of making a point that everyone had already noticed anyway)

If you can’t find the maturity to own up to what you clearly were doing, seems a tad hypocritical to be speaking about wanting a mature conversation.

I do at least admit when I’m being antagonistic
